Air France's new Business Class seat features state-of-the-art technology. The 20-inch 4K Ultra High-Definition anti-glare screen—the largest among the long-haul fleet—offers a premium entertainment experience. Bluetooth connectivity, touchpad screen, and the “do not disturb” feature enhance passenger control over their environment. The fully-connected seat includes USB-A, USB-C ports, wireless induction charging, and Wi-Fi connection. Central seats in the cabin are equipped with a panel that can be lowered for shared interactions

Embodying the company’s rich history, passengers are greeted by a backlit winged seahorse upon boarding. The cabin boasts large windows with automatic blinds and seats fashioned from top-quality materials like wool, brushed aluminium, and French leather. Seats are generously padded and highlighted by the brand's signature red embroidery.

The Business Class seats are spaciously designed according to the "three Fs" concept—Full Flat, Full Access, and Full Privacy. New sliding doors ensure maximum seclusion, and central panels allow for a shared space for co-travellers. Additional personal storage units, equipped with noise-cancelling headsets, vanity mirrors, and ample room for personal belongings, augment passenger convenience.
